Hi

I went to Egypt in June this year and i took my 2 yr old and was 27 weeks pregnant as well, didn't need any jabs at all, so you will be fine.

Was very hot out there but it is a heat you can manage, and it's a lovely place

Where abouts are you staying?

I want to go back at some point

I went to Egypt in August 2005, no injections/medications needed at all.
There were plenty of families there with children so I'm sure you'll be fine with a little one, I'd happily return with my LO.

Just remember to do your visa's you can do them at the airport upon arrival but the lines to buy them there go for miles. Send your passports off with the forms (avaliable online) to the embassy in London, we got ours back in 2 days and sailed through immigrations when we arrived!! Might be nice to not queue up again when you arrive with a little one.

I absolutely LOVE Sharm...get your snorkelling stuff out

Also I'd invest on one of those battery powered fans you can clip to the pushchair, it's bloody BOILING
